I Love Guam! Part 5


I hate coconut, but it was fun seeing they crack these babies open and put straws inside to drink the milk. They actually used a machety. Until this trip, I had never seen an actual coconut growing on a tree. It was pretty neat as they were all over as were macadamia nuts and mangos.

Waiting for our food. My friend suggested we try the foodstand with the longest line. She claimed they were the best and she was right!

 
We dined on barbeque, chicken, corn, rice, pancit and banana lumpia. It was all delicious. Our girls especially loved the pancit, lumpia and chicken. We shared one meal, ate alot of food and paid only $12. Pretty great deal.

On Wednesday night we ventured to the Chamorro Village. It was filled with vendors selling arts/crafts type products, food and live music with dancing. It was a busy, and fun place.

This caption is for my sisters. Both girls like meat like their Momma! ;)

They were offering rides on a water buffalo, which they called a Karaboa. Neither of our girls were excited about getting near that thing let alone on it.


Yep, Mya when she saw the water buffalo ;)

Claire checking out the lizard being careful not to get too close.


The band. People were line dancing just to the left and tables surround the dance floor.

They had these irresistable hula girl cookies that we couldn't pass by.

Mya was super excited to crack into it! We also bought whistles made from bamboo and friendship bracelets. I bought some bracelets at the hotel prior, but I should have waited as they were less expensive in the village.

Chris and I are creatures of habit. We like what we like. When we find something especially wonderful, we tend to go a bit overboard. Case in point--Chinese restaurant in Minot, ND. We frequented it often at least a couple of times per week. This was basically THE place we went out to eat. The host actually started to say things like, "nice to see you AGAIN." We were rather embarrassed and fearful that his line would eventually become, "your usual table?" Thankfully we moved. Since coming to Korea, we've tried every Brazilian Steakhouse (there are 4 or 5), I deemed Ceia my favorite. It has the most delicious white rice with which I put this onion mixture on top and it is oh. so. yummy. We became frequent visitors--typically one night per week. We joked between ourselves that we were going to be greeted as we were dreading in Minot. It never happened, thankfully, but who knows what the staff actually said as they primarily spoke Korean :) Another quirk Chris an...

my workout playlist

I never dreamed I'd be listening/watching this when I worked out, but it is true. Here it is: photo courtesty of Laurieberkner.com I wouldn't have it any other way. My little healthy lifestyle journey is going well. I have exercised 7 days thus far which consists of treadmill activity and an ab workout every other day. I don't pressure myself to run everyday, but I have run 4 of the 7 days. I am quite proud of that. I have never been a runner or enjoyed running, but I have grown to like it. I used to say that I had exercise induced asthma! I think I did, but maybe I outgrew it? ha. Whatever the reason, I am finding it pretty easy to run and maintain a steady pace for no less than 20 minutes each time. Pretty impressive feat for a girl like me. Interestingly, I had planned to take today off, but didn't. I actually had the desire to run. Chris and I are both sticking to the eating plan as well. So far I am down about 4 pounds. Although 4 pounds is plenty, it ...

9 Months

      Claire is nine months old. She is such an active kid, always on the go. She no longer lays nicely when we change her diaper. It is quite the challenge. She is getting rather quick at crawling, so we have to move just as quickly to keep her out of where she doesn't belong--the fridge, cupboards, etc. Developmentally, she is right on track or maybe a bit advanced in our biased eyes. She crawls, pulls herself up, is beginning to move from one piece of furniture to another, mostly eats table food, and imitates us (both in the noises we make or actions--knocking on a door). When we hold her hands, she is beginning to take steps without much guidance. On Saturday, she made her first attempt to climb a step. Sadly, it ended with her sliding down. She has three teeth--two on the bottom, one on top with another coming in on top. Ten things we love about her: 1. her smile 2. her curiosity 3. the way she holds our hands or her own hands when she sleeps 4. her easy-goingness 5....
